Behringer CP1A, is it safe to use 13.5v power supply?
Is it safe to use a 13.5v 3amp power supply with the Behringer CP1A? I don’t have the original power supply. Or should I use 12v or 15v ? I’m using a variable power supply.
Thank you

most of the time around the 12V and above, a half volt higher shouldn't be an issue....
although some devices have very low tolerances, but check if the unloaded voltage isn't something insane like 18+ volts like some not that good power adapers do. Also check polarity. the CP1A requires center +
if you decide to use that adapter, you should check the temperature soon after pluging in and 15-30 minutes later for parts getting unconfortably warm/hot. Too warm/hot is a sign that you push it too far.

13.5 should be fine, 12 works but i would not dare to try 15
